This Mahakaal temple is located in Madhyamgram, Kolkata, simply inside strolling distance of Madhyamgram Chowrasta (four-point crossing highway) in the direction of Badu. It takes no more than 2 minutes to stroll to the mesmerizing Mahakal temple. I, personally a seeker of outdated Shiva and Shakti temples, began to discover as many nice temples close by Kolkata and its suburbs, and it’s one in all them.
A gaggle of folks, some younger and a few outdated, informed me the historical past behind the temple. It was made by a nice devotee of Lord Shiva, virtually 50 years in the past. He as soon as dreamt the presence of Mahakaal, however didn’t perceive and acknowledge the pressure. The similar dream happened to come back and he understood it was his Lord who needed him to construct a temple (Mahakaal) in that place. Later, he received a image that was discovered close to his home that got here with the floating of water, a bit summary, however he discovered it to be Mahakaal within the type of Shiva. Finally, he determined to construct a small temple there, and now it has grow to be a large one.
The temple is constructed with bricks and wooden, a concrete constructing fantastically crafted by a nice artisan. You will likely be amazed to see the construction of Mahakaal. Yes, it’s! When I first noticed the construction, I grew to become dumbfounded. For a second, I finished, immobile, speechless. What can we usually see once we see Maa Kali and Lord Shiva? Maa is standing on the chest of Lord Shiva. Shiva seems to be calm, however Maa seems to be fierce. Isn’t it? But right here the image is completely different. Here, on this Mahakal temple Kolkata Madhyamgram, we see Lord Shiva within the type of Mahakal who’s standing on the chest of Maa Kali. But right here, Shiva seems to be calm, not fierce. This is the precise image that the devotee dreamt of Mahadeva and determined to construct it.
